With all of the Irish team being knocked out of their prelims we were left with one hope! Eoin Keyes who had made the cut for the semis! we spent the day waiting and eating and shopping before his semi final at 2pm.

Eoin had a cheeky paddle early on in the day and felt frustrated with loops not sticking so after a relaxing morning he was psyced

with the whole of Irelands hopes laid in his hands he put down a solid confident ride to put him in 7th Place after the first ride then in the second ride again he just couldnt get the loop to stick flushing awkwardly leaving him with one good score to use.

 

(semi finals are two rides best score counts)

Unfortunately Eoin didnt make the cut but finishing a very respectable 10th place

Tonight we have the traditional loser party for everyone who has not made a final. With Team Ireland ready to rock the roost and party on! As a team we made a pact the lowest placed scoring male would be wearing a dress to the losers party tonight. With all the K1 Senior men scoring and due to the fact OC1 was pretty poor we gave the lads a second chance in C1 which has left Kevin with zero points and a dress to wear tonight!
